‘American Thinker’. Isn’t every American not on life support an American thinker?
This is literally just horseshoe theory, graphed out.
wait they tryna tell us fucking FOX and FORBES are reliable, centrist outlets?
ahahahahahahsgshahaha
Here’s another version including web-based shows and podcasts:
Joe Rogan is not that in the middle anymore.
Why is Jimmy dore on the left?
Boing Boing used to be a fun feed for silliness and classic counterculture. Now it’s just page after page after page of American politics at its worst.
Needs more JPEG. I could almost make out some of those logos.
I saved the image straight from the source, any compression is due to lemmy
Not knowing shit about american media, I’m both surprised and disturbed how much worse it still seems to get after Fox News.
Fox News should be way further down on the bottom right.
Compared to the other stuff on there, I wouldn’t say so unless they move everything in the neighborhood of Daily Wire as well. It really does get that much worse.
In reality, everything from the New York Times rightward should actually be stretched about one section over to the right. There are very few publications that are legitimately in the “skews right” camp these days; there’s just no money in it. Outlets in that section are vilified by right wingers for being leftists (even though they’re not) and they’re ignored by the left for being conservative partisans (which is accurate).
That said, yes; Fox, having changed very little about their programming, is now one of the least partisan right-wing sources. (Even though they’re incredibly right-wing.) The Overton Window has shifted drastically.
Im not shocked by any of them. I think tech dirt should be a little higher and the verge a little lower but otherwise makes sense
Qatar based Al Jazeera “skews left”. Yeah, I don’t think so. What a joke.
They do indeed skew left. Read their news sometime. It can be enlightening to get an outside perspective from a group that generally opposes our foreign forays of death and destruction.
It skews “non-Western”, which doesn’t work well on a chart like this.
No true Scotsman eh?
No Infowars? There’s a great spot for it in the bottom right corner.
So far down it didn’t make the chart I guess
It’s telling how the graph says “media”, and not “news”. Fox will claim to be news right up to the point that someone sues them, at which point their lawyers will claim that whatever statements they made that got them in trouble can’t reasonably be interpreted as facts but rather entertainment and opinion.
They put the daily wire and daily mail above the decent reporting of Rolling Stone. This chart is bullshit.
And the right wing rag that is the Wall Street Journal is right in the middle.
I can’t find CNN or Reuters on this chart. Can someone help me?
CNN(tv) is at: (“skews left”, yellow(high)).
CNN(web): (“skews left”, green(mid)).I’m not seeing Reuters or it’s logo.
Nor Politico, Economist, The Guardian. But at least we have Tom’s Guide here in case you wondered if Tech guides have a bias…
The Guardian is on there, 2nd Row, 5th Column. They just used a very small G logo for it so it’s hard to spot.
Can’t find Reuters though.
I’m disappointed they left out The Onion
In the middle on the bottom… LoL… They equally make fun of everyone.
They’re obviously left leaning, they just don’t tow the line, or hold back when valid criticism is deserved.
Forbes being middle left is the perfect illustration of the Overton window theory.
Yeah these ratings are literally just based on the opinions of three analysts from the left, right and center which are then averaged together. They’re obviously going to be biased by their particular country, culture and upbringing, both in how they label themselves and how they rate the different articles.
Just for reference, in the expanded chart that I just shared they put Russel Brand and Joe Rogan in the center and Jimmy Dore on the right.
Same for how little Fox News is to the right.
Bellingcat does amazing work.
